Derek Luke will play a guy who shares a romantic past with Keri Russel's KGB spy.

FX's The Americans has enlisted a man from KGB spy Keri Russell's past.

In the 1980s-set Soviet-era drama starring the Felicity alum and Matthew Rhys as KGB spies posing as Americans, Derek Luke will recur as Gregory, a civil rights activist-turned-KGB asset. His romantic past with Elizabeth Jennings (Russell) complicates his work as a trusted operative.
